HRCI/HRB Joint Funding Scheme
Since 2006, HRCI and the Health Research Board (HRB) have collaborated to run a ‘Joint Funding Scheme’. Through this unique scheme, HRCI member charities can secure matched funding for research of importance to the people they represent, through a competitive process.
HOW IT WORKS: TOP LEVEL
- Only charities that are members of HRCI can take part.
- Each round, some HRCI members invite funding applications from researchers. Calls are announced by the charities themselves, on the HRCI Open Calls page and the relevant HRB grant page
- Researchers submit their applications to the relevant charity
- Most types of health and social care research (with the exception of clinical trials), for all health conditions, can be funded
- Research projects of 12-36 months duration, up to a max of €300,000 are supported
- The cost of successful projects is split 50:50 between the HRB and the submitting charity (with the exception that very small charities can receive 75% funding from the HRB).
- The scheme has a high success rate and funded projects are managed by the HRB
- The scheme runs every second year and the next round will open in late summer/early autumn 2023 (charities will be accepting applications until late autumn 2023)
